Answer:
a) 
b) 
Explanation:
Given:
- upward acceleration of the helicopter,

- time after the takeoff after which the engine is shut off,

a)
<u>Maximum height reached by the helicopter:</u>
using the equation of motion,

where:
u = initial velocity of the helicopter = 0 (took-off from ground)
t = time of observation


b)
- time after which Austin Powers deploys parachute(time of free fall),

- acceleration after deploying the parachute,

<u>height fallen freely by Austin:</u>

where:
initial velocity of fall at the top = 0 (begins from the max height where the system is momentarily at rest)
time of free fall


<u>Velocity just before opening the parachute:</u>



<u>Time taken by the helicopter to fall:</u>

where:
initial velocity of the helicopter just before it begins falling freely = 0
time taken by the helicopter to fall on ground
height from where it falls = 250 m
now,


From the above time 7 seconds are taken for free fall and the remaining time to fall with parachute.
<u>remaining time,</u>



<u>Now the height fallen in the remaining time using parachute:</u>



<u>Now the height of Austin above the ground when the helicopter crashed on the ground:</u>



Answer:
gravitational force is a force while gravity is a fundamental quantity
Explanation:
Answer:
857.5 m
2.8583×10⁻⁶ seconds
Explanation:
Time taken by the sound of the thunder to reach the student = 2.5 s
Speed of sound in air is 343 m/s
Speed of light is 3×10⁸ m/s
Distance travelled by the sound = Time taken by the sound × Speed of sound in air
⇒Distance travelled by the sound = 2.5×343 = 857.5 m
⇒Distance travelled by the sound = 857.5 m
Time taken by light = Distance the light travelled / Speed of light

Time taken by light = 2.8583×10⁻⁶ seconds
Moons revolve around a planet, and planets revolve around the sun. Ganymede is considered a moon because it revolves around the planet Jupiter, therefore, it is a moon. :) I hope this helps!
